Come with us to Africa to see something our Father in heaven is doing in Kenya's fourth largest city, Nakuru. Christ is raising up a testimony of love and truth among the helpless and downtrodden residents in the impoverished sections of this fast growing city. As we share the uncut gospel of the Kingdom of God with them, the changes happening in their lives has both encouraged ...and humbled us.

The Currency of Life

Who is that ancient fellow, in these pictures here of me?

That couldn’t be the truth, of what my eyes now see!

I feel so very young, so ready now to go;

Is that really me, that’s moving so very, very slow?

What’s that you said? Say it again, cause I really couldn’t hear,

It looks as though it’s happening; the very thing I fear!

You see I’ve been distracted; as time came round to me;

It slipped up like a thief at night, and left now what you see.

My heart is still so vibrant, my spirit still so strong;

It’s just that this old body, doesn’t know what’s going on.

It’s taken all this time to know, just what I am to do;

And now that wisdom finally came, why are my days so few?

For minutes are as silver and hours just like gold;

The Currency of Life, no man can ever hold.

So spend your days with wisdom, or you’ll never have enough;

Don’t waste one precious moment on that other worldly stuff.

Invest them all in people, the ones who need His love;

The ones that He will pick for you, as He looks down from above.

For deep inside of all I loved, my eternal body’s formed;

Perfect in the strength of love, with power there adorned.

For love will make the house, in which we all shall dwell;

And determine its location whether in heaven or in hell.

This life was made for learning, the next one’s made to live;

The size of new our home there, will be as we did give.

For Loves the only real work and Loves the only pay;

Not what you keep will follow but what you gave away.

“And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous Mammon, that when it fails, they may receive you into an everlasting home.” (Luke 16:9)
